We published a computational study about assembly of tadpole-like hard-core/soft-shell nanoparticles in Langmuir in collaboration with YongJoo Kim group at Korea University.

In a recent paper published in Energy Storage Materials, we collaborated with Hye Ryung Byon group at KAIST to utilize our sulfonated mesoporous membranes in lithium metal batteries to boost cyclability.

Our recent Macromolecules paper shows the grafting-from polymerization produces Janus bottlebrush polymer materials with periodic order via polymerization-induced microphase separation process.

In a recent paper published in JACS, We report that increasing temperature during the polymerization-induced self-assembly can depolymerize the solvophobic block and thus induce a reversible morphological transition by temperature swing.

Our review on the PIMS process, initially developed by Myungeun Seo and Marc Hillmyer in 2012, was published in Progress in Polymer Science to provide a comprehensive information about the field and a practical guide to colleagues interested in PIMS.

We report a sticky coacervate made of PEO-b-PLA with tannic acid can be used as a biocompatible adhesive, whose strength improves over heating/cooling cycles.
